When working on CGI or HTML stuff, I like techno like the "Lola Rennt"
soundtrack or Fatboy Slim or Crystal Method or any real driving beat dance
music so I can pound out code/text.
When we move on the heavyduty code, like modules I tend to
like classic rock mixed with pop tunes and punk rock
of the past few decades.
Medium beat and the lyrics don't bother me because I'm
concentrating on non-verbal stuff mostly. Pink Floyd, BOC,
BTO, the Clash, even Enya. When working on
DB layout or frame code that controls the whole scheme of
things I tend to listen to old alternative rock and the modern
post-seattle stuff. Alterna-pop I suppose. From Ani Difranco and
to Toad the Wet Sprocket.
And yes, I know that having all of those on one harddrive
could lead to a horrible space inversion that could kill
us all...
